EHD is transmitted by a bug called a midge. We have about 4000 acres at our hunt club property and harvested 123 deer this year. Our property is located in Charlotte and Surry Counties, Virginia. We had three deer, one buck and two does that had EHD and all three survived! Not all deer die do to this disease. I was told that this occurs during a dry seasons. When we opened these deer up they looked perfect inside.
I hope it doesn't get any more then we have experienced here in Virginia.
